Chapter 80 - melancholy
In the early morning, the sun rises in the east and the red light fills the window. Thorne gently opened the thin window, facing the cool morning breeze, bathing in the rising sun, and looking at the streets of Twilight Town.
The cold wind blew through the almost deserted streets, passing through the branches of the trees on both sides of the road, sending out strange shrieks.
The last few withered leaves were swept away, and they fell weakly to the ground, which was quite a desolate scene.
“That guy Carlos often said that there will always be unexpected warmth and endless hope in life, I hope so.”
Feeling the icy light of the rising sun, Thorne couldn’t help but sigh, and his eyes looking out the window showed a good yearning for life.
Then he closed the thin window gently, turned around and picked up the twenty Gerardel arrow bamboos on the table and put them in the dimension bag.
As a half-elf race with elven blood, Thorne’s daily rest time didn’t take that long.
After he finished practicing for a day, he immediately began to prepare for going to Waterfall Town.
When he was in Winter City, this kind of arrow bamboo, which was all in line with Thorne’s standards except for the price, prepared a lot before he left, just in case.
Now, the shafts and quills of the arrows have been made, and only the arrowheads left unfinished by the dwarf blacksmith.
Thorne calculated the approximate time, and it was almost finished, so he planned to rush as soon as possible, after assembling the arrows, he left Twilight Town.
The road leading to Iron Horse Town was blocked by gnolls. If you want to bypass it, the fastest shortcut can only be through the bottomless swamp on the left side of the town.
But it wasn’t easy to get through that swamp full of mud and rotting bushes.
Although most of the lizardmen live deep in the swamp, few come out alone.
But just walking in that treacherous terrain is also very dangerous.
A little bit of carelessness will cause him to fall into the quagmire and lose his life, so Thorne is destined to waste a long time if he wants to pass through smoothly.
Crunch!
Thorne packed up his things, pushed open the door to leave, and suddenly a beautiful red figure appeared in front of the door, making him stunned in place.
Andrina was wearing a red dress today, with high-quality fabrics and a very decent cut, which perfectly outlined her slender figure.
Beneath the curved slender eyebrows, a pair of smiling brown eyes looked at Thorne quietly, their eyes were as pure as water, showing kindness and gentleness.
“Morning!”
Anderina extended her slender jade hand to greet Thorne, and there was a bit of playfulness in her smiling eyes.
“Is something wrong?” Thorne hesitated and asked.
“Why, don’t you ask me to come in and sit?” Andrina leaned halfway beside the door, tilted her head, looked at Thorne and said softly.
“Please.” Thorne turned to move out of the way and invited Andrina in.
“It’s really yours, take the top VIP room in Twilight Town as your workshop for making arrows.”
Andrina walked into the house with light steps, the corner of her eyes swept the sawdust scattered on the ground, laughed lightly, and couldn’t help but complain.
After saying that, he sat casually on the chair.
“I walked in a hurry last night and forgot to take the money with me. I was going to look for you, but you just came, so it’s easy.” Thorne closed the door and said calmly.
“I knew you would say that, and I brought it all to you.”
When Andrina heard the words, she showed an unexpected expression, and then took out a large bag of gold coins from the dimension bag and put it on the table next to her.
Seeing Thorne put away the money unceremoniously, Andrina thought for a while and said to Thorne:
“Hey, what happened last night was actually a misunderstanding. Vissala didn’t mean anything, it was just a joke for you. You, a big man, won’t hold grudges, right?”
“You don’t need to explain, I understand, I was overreacting at the time.” Thorne froze for a moment, and said lightly while sitting in the chair.
Although he was very disgusted with losing Versara who seduced humans when they met, his reaction was indeed too intense. If the other party didn’t take the slightest precaution, it would be a big deal.
“It seems that you still have self-knowledge. Forgetfulness and low laughter are the standard for a happy life. People should not live too depressed. They should laugh more when they have nothing to do, and delete some sadness in order to accommodate more happiness.”
Andrina put her elbows on the table and looked at Thorne with a smile on her cheeks.
Then she blinked her beautiful eyes and pretended to be surprised: “Are you at the level of a grandfather in the real world like Trundle?”
Grandpa level?
Thorne’s face hidden in the hood twitched, and now he finally felt why many people were so taboo to ask their true age.
The reaction of male players may not be so great. If it is a female player, I am afraid that it is a little careless, and a joke is likely to directly break the defense.
Because you can’t refute this kind of joke, you can’t take out your ID card and show it to the other party.
Age is also difficult to judge from behavior and actions. Some people are born mature and prudent, and some people have a naive childlike innocence hidden in their hearts no matter how old they are.
Whether you admit it or not, you will be labelled with suspicion, especially when there are many people.
“This kind of joke is not funny at all. It’s better to say less in the future, especially when there are many people.” Thorne reminded Anderina with a serious face.
Puchi!
Looking at Thorne’s serious and serious expression, Andrina couldn’t help laughing out loud. The bright smile like a flower quickly rippled on her pretty face, making it even more charming.
“Are you done laughing?” Thorne frowned.
“It’s alright, it’s just that I suddenly found it interesting to chat with a rigid person like you.”
Andrina immediately stopped smiling and said, “Then when are you going to leave Twilight Town?”
“If there is no accident, I will leave today.” Thorne thought about it and said truthfully.
“What kind of thing is an accident?” After listening to Andrina, she raised her eyes and glanced at Thorne, and her tone suddenly became a little melancholy.
“If an accident can be guessed, it won’t be called an accident.”
Thorne looked up at the sky subconsciously, but unfortunately he saw only the ceiling of the room and a magic light that was flickering tirelessly, then he sighed and said slowly.
Being born as a human being is full of regrets. Life is short but not short, but long is not long.
There is a saying that is really good, you never know which will come first, tomorrow or the accident.
In Thorne’s countless life and death struggles, it also made him understand that no matter what happens in the future, whether tomorrow or the accident comes first, people always have to live fearlessly.
Don’t say the time is cold because you haven’t waited for the sun to be warm.
